The Friends of the Carmel Valley Library support and enhance our library's vital role in our community.
Through the support of our community, the Friends of Carmel Valley Library provides financial support to fund events, materials, and physical enhancements that are not within the county's budget. The additional support from the Friends help make the library a central touchpoint within our village. We will continue to host our popular First Saturday Speaker Series, with speakers that inform our community and entertain our spirit. We will continue to drive major enhancements to the library with new and updated signage, and more improvements to the patio, including a mural on a large blank wall. This year we are committed to re-making our website to make it more user-friendly for our patrons.
The Carmel Valley library holds a special place in my heart. It is a building with a colorful history turned into a library and community hub. I spent countless hours with my daughter combing the shelves for books, participating in fun programming, and adult time at the First Saturday Series. It is with great joy that I have the opportunity to serve on the Friends Board, giving back to this wonderful place.
